With Cobb, coming of a productive year with Cowboys to rejuvenate his career, he may decide to take advantage and make the max of what he can to finish his career..ala Cole Beasley.

Not only did Cobb quickly worked very well connecting with Dak, he actually proved durable for better part of the year. Which may have been leading reason why Packers decided not to re-sign him.

But what if Cobb goes the Cole Beasley way and out-prices himself.

Spotrac has Cobb at:
  • 2 yrs, $14,297,232
  • Avg. Salary: $7,148,616
I'd say he's gone as long as they really plan on keeping Cooper. But doesn't McCarthy have history with him? Might tip the balance either way.

Cobb was great in the back half of the season. We should hope the rest of the league doesn't see his value.
QB rating when thrown to 30 of 45, 67%, 554 yds, 12.3 y/t, QB Rate 123.8.

Big Cobb fan, and I respect the McCarthy connection, but with the cap where it is and the receiver depth in this draft, I can't justify bringing him back, even at a reasonable price.

Dude, that makes no sense. Cobb may have done that before Mike McCarthy was signed as the new HC but ever since then, Randall has made it clear he wants to work with MM again. You can bet your arse he is going to do whatever it takes to make that happen. Your "what ifs" seem to be coming from the fear of impending doom for the Cowboys in 2020. It's certainly not coming from the point of view of any confidence for this team's decision making.

What exactly gives you confidence regarding this team's decision making? JJ? The Cowboys as a whole? MM?

IMO, I think we let Cobb test out the market, and he will not find that big of one for his services.

At his age, no one will be looking for him as their #1 or #2 receiver. With this being a stacked draft for WRs, I doubt many teams are going to want to spend a lot of money on a 30-year-old #3 WR.

After looking around, he will take our offer so he can get back with Dak, who he seemed to have a good connection with and MM.

This draft is so deep with WR, I am almost tempted to save the money and draft a guy in rounds 2-5 that can compete with Wilson. If he is the difference between keeping Quinn, Jones or maybe adding a solid Vet DT or S, I am letting him go. I think a rookie will be able to help out a lot more as our #3 WR than as a starting DE or DT.

He unreliable the last few years before coming here, and he was a very efficient option last year.

Id be willing to bring hin back, but only on a deal similar to what he got last year

Cole beasley is a local product. Played high school football at little elm. College ball at smu. Wanted to play with cowboys. News flash.......It's always about the money. Op's premise made perfect sense.

What are you? Some kind of Cole Beasley groupie? Stop bringing up that loser. He has nothing to do with the thread topic... Randall Cobb. And for your information, it's not always about the money, otherwise, Tom Brady wouldn't have been playing on a team-friendly contract for the last few years. The term "team-friendly" wouldn't even exist if it was always about the money. OP's premise is naive and lacks telling the whole truth about Randall Cobb's motivation for wanting to remain a Cowboy under Mike McCarthy's tutelage.

Cowboy's good decision making...

1) Not paying Cole Beasley more than he is worth... so they let him go.

2) Moving on from Jason Garrett, granted it took far to long but they finally did it.

3) Hiring Mike McCarthy. He's a proven, Super Bowl winning coach that can get this team back to the dynasty it once was.

4) Not giving JBond any power over its decision making what so ever. This is the best decision of them all because they would never get fixed with you in charge. LOL


Cowboy's bad decision making...

1) Countless, I can't defend them so at this you do have a point. I get it. :bow:

your comprehension level seems stunted, therefore I shall elucidate just for you. the salient point was that even a home grown talent, one who would have preferred to stay on the team left for more money. money trumps loyalty. it's the driving premise of any business. and i'll bet brady makes more in endorsements and business dealings as a result of his play for the patriots. cobb's not in that league. you tend to think typically military where raises are based solely on rank and length of time in service.

Buddy, if you truly care about my comprehension level, you wouldn't be using words that I have to look up like elucidate and salient. I'm just a country bumkin from Texas, man.

The fact that the term "team-friendly" exists blows your business theory out of the water and you can't dispute it. Team-friendly deals exist and Cobb is going to get one to stay with the Cowboys and work with MM again.

You may be right about me thinking like the military where raises are solely based on rank and length of time in service. I retired from the military and that's all I've known my entire adult life.

Did they teach you those big words in El Paso? I'm kinda jealous. :p

I was special ops most of my military career, working for a Joint Task Force. So even though I was Air Force, I worked mostly with the Army. I don't have a preferred branch of service, they are all my brothers and sisters. But if it makes you happy... Go Navy!
